Don’t be disappointed. This post has absolutely nothing to do with vampyres, except myself. Sometimes I just get so excited about something, and I just can’t seem to put aside the excitement to make way for anything else. …I think I’ve discovered what my new tattoo is going to be. HOWEVER, I need some assistance from the masses out there who are keeping up with my life through this blog.
Here is the image that sparked such mind altering inspiration:
If you can’t tell…I’m talking about the girl with the balloon. But, also, that sentence scratched into the wall there. “There is always hope.” This image struck me for more than one personal reason, and I think it would make a fantastic new addition to my collection of body art.
But, here’s where you come in. I want to do it creatively. Not just like a rubber stamp somewhere on my body. I want it to look like it belongs there, just like it looks like it belongs on that wall. I think a lot of the beauty of this “graffiti” is that it looks like it SHOULD be there. …I want to keep that if I transfer it onto myself.
So, do any creative minds out there have any ideas on where or how to place this? I also want to have “There is always hope,” probably in script somewhere in there, but that’s negotiable. Scale/size makes no difference to me. I’m not at all opposed to large tattoos, the only aversion I have is to arm tattoos, because I’ll rarely every be able to cover it if I need to.
Also, if I’m lucky enough to have some tattoo artist readers who could draw this out into a tatto-able drawing, I would be forever and ever and ever in your debt.
Please break the silence guys, this is the point of putting my thoughts out onto the web, is it not? To get feedback?
EDIT: Sorry, existing tattoos, right, that’s important. Here are links to the only images I have right now of my two existing tattoos:
The one on my chest, left side.
And, the one in the middle of my upper back.
Sorry for the bad quality of that second one, it’s the only one I could find that actually showed it’s actual placement/scale.

I’ll take a shot at it.
As for placement though, what space is available? I haven’t seen any pictures of you, let alone where you are or aren’t tattooed.
Thanks for the update. For some reason, I was expecting you to be covered or something. This actually allows more possibilities than I initially thought.
I’m gonna put together some ideas and get back to you. It might take a few days, as I’d like to come up with several variations for you to choose from, so bear with me.
By any chance, do you know the name of the original artist and/or photographer? When I work on this, I’m basically tweaking another artist’s work, and I’d like to give credit where it’s due.
First I have to say that I love your other art that you have. They are amazing. Second if you want to keep it like it was meant on the wall, I would say do something that is you. For example I noticed that all your other tattoos are black and white, keep this is the same way other than the balloon if you wish. Or you could do the whole things and do it has a back piece since you have plenty of space and are willing to do big tattoos. Im no artist so I cant draw it out for you. sorry. But other than that all I can say is keep it you. And everything else should fall in place.
